Goa

Goa, the most happening party place in India is a very safe place for women travelers, as long as you travel responsibly. To stay safe, it is advisable to rent a place nearer to Baga or Calangute, as these places are flocked by tourists. It's amongst the best places in India for solo female travelers.

This is also quite evident by the growing list of vacations in Goa. Check out the list by clicking here. While Arambol and Mandrem are lovely beaches, one should start off early and be back before it gets too dark, else stay at a hotel around these beaches, coz the road that connects these beaches to the tourist part of Goa is deserted.

You can sit, eat and drink to your glory around the popular beaches or at the shacks there, as these areas are safer. Being a solo woman traveler can be difficult but if someone intrudes your space or approaches you with wrong intentions be firm, fellow tourists are quite helpful, as are the locals!

A bike will give you more sense of freedom while roaming around, while a car will be a safer option. The surroundings of Hampi are not much of a find but walking around the villages and talking to people getting to know their stories does sound like a good experience.

Munnar, Kerala

Munnar gives you the notion that you have landed in one of those surreal places in the movies. The green carpeted hills that are covered with tea plantations are seriously breathtaking!
